St. Mark's is proud to support the Westford Preschool's For the Love of Erika toy drive by collecting money and gift cards in our outreach box, which is used to buy toys for children in local hospitals, shelters, and the Department of Children and Families in the area.
For the Love of Erika is a toy drive started by Taylor Leong. Named in memory of Taylor's friend, Erika Gould, the toy drive's mission is to spread smiles during the holiday season. Taylor and Erika both attended the Westford Preschool. St. Mark's has participated in the past by collecting toys, but this year, they are asking for monetary donations and gift cards, which will be used to buy toys.
2024 Final Report: For the Love of Erika Toy Drive - Thanks for all your support
On Monday, December 11th, we provided a check for $402 to the preschool. With the preschool donations, the church community will provide over $1000 to support the purchase of toys for children in the area struggling this Christmas season. Thanks to everyone who contributed so generously to the campaign.
